Sorry you feel that way. I live with chronic pain myself and it's not a lot of fun. That being said...

I don't know why insinuating that a person might be disabled and wanting of more consideration is offensive. I didn't suggest he's missing an arm or a leg or give some ableist writeoff, I said instead that maybe acceptance is what he is looking for and that would not come from the far right.

Sure, it's mincing words and it's a hedge, but I don't think I'm going to apologize for pushing people's buttons: they go low we go high is BS because the only people who benefit from that arrangement are the bystanders. They go low, I'm gonna be waiting to kick in the teeth. Everyone playing the disgust and downvote is on the team watching out for people already. Thank you. I am going to walk in shit to piss people off: you're not going to change someones mind by giving downvotes and "being best" (lol yeah right).

I said a dick thing, I accept it, and I hope it pissed that dude off. Then when he goes to try to refute me, he has to read, learn, and consider the situation. One of three things comes of that. He ignores me, and who cares. He thinks and gets mad and doubles down, also who cares, being nice wasnt helping anyway. Or maybe it causes a moment of thinking and clarity that starts discussion.

I'm not going to be nice so the anonymous internet left gives me a cookie, it's not their minds that need changed or nuts that need kicked. You be the good guy who posts and is fediverse famous and I'll be the unknown guy who goes wrestle pigs in the shit and thumps the pigeon playing chess (to borrow some expressions).

Naw, you just look like an asshole and it damages your overall argument to other people who aren't assholes.

You can be a gadfly without being a piece of shit or a pedant, or a triple downing douchebag. Again this is all a reflection on you, not on the people your bad insults aren't landing on.

Well seeing as how it seems like you're an asshole too, I could kinda give a shit about what you think. Apparently you have to be heard in every thread on this post though and I wouldn't deny you replies. Go outside lol.

No, I won't be a wuss an go outside. You see how silly that sounds?

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Can't take silly seriously obviously. Can you at least entertain me and any brave readers if we are gonna keep going? I'm not going anywhere.

Oh sorry, I missed the team America video. The one where you think you're Gary Johnston but you're actually Matt Damon.

I can't see your image can you try again? I'm pretty invested now.

Naw, they already removed your shitty and stupid ableist comment and the world is better for it, no one can see any of this and good!
